Book your Maiolica Experience

Step inside a traditional Florentine ceramic studio and experience the beauty of Tuscan craftsmanship as you paint your own maiolica plate using authentic, time honored designs. In this small, intimate group setting, you'll be guided step by step by a Master Ceramist- no prior experience needed. This is a calm hands on experience designed for anyone who wants to slow down, get creative, and take home a truly personal souvenir from Florence. During the workshop you'll be introduced to the history of Tuscan maiolica, choose from a selection of traditional patterns, and enjoy a guided painting session in an authentic studio environment. At the end you will have a unique piece that reflects both local tradition and your own touch. Plate will be professionally glazed and fired. Please contact me for availability.

Weekly Ceramics Courses

My ceramics courses are more then just a place to learn pottery- they are an opportunity to slow down, work with your hands, and become part of a creative community in Florence. Located near Piazza Beccaria, the studio welcomes locals, international students, and expats looking for an authentic artistic experience in a relaxed environment. Whether you are completely new to ceramics or already have experience, the courses are personalized and designed to help you develop your creativity at your own pace while sharing the space with like-minded people. Many students join not only to learn traditional ceramic techniques, but also to meet new people, practice Italian and build meaningful connections through creativity. The studio atmosphere is informal, welcoming, and centered around craftsmanship, conversation, and community. Courses are hand-building amongst other traditional techniques. I offer flexible memberships for both short term and long term students.

My New Book

I am proud to announce that my book, "Dei Vasi e dei Vasari," is hot off the presses! I will be hosting a presentation at my studio Friday June 26th at 18:00. I look forward to sharing this labor of love with all of you!

Reviews

I feel truly honored and proud to see so many wonderful reviews of my studio. Every review means a lot to me because it reflects not only the work I do, but also the connections and experiences shared with the people who visit my studio. I consider myself very fortunate; I have the privilege of doing a job I genuinely love in the extraordinary city of Florence. Everyday I am privileged to meet fascinating people from all over the world. Each encounter brings new stories, perspectives, and inspiration. To everyone who has taken the time to leave a review, share their experience, or support my work: thank you. Your words motivate me to keep improving and to continue pursuing my passion. I am deeply grateful for your trust and support.

Viaggio in Italia

Cari amici officinali,
come richiesto da molti di voi e come promesso, nel 2016 inauguriamo una nuova stagione delle nostre serate di "viaggio". 

Vi porteremo alla scoperta (o alla ri-scoperta) del Bel Paese nostro e di tanti suoi territori ricchissimi di arte e di storia. Come è nostra consuetudine, sarà la decorazione della ceramica a fare da filo conduttore, ma sarà la poesia, la letteratura e il video a raccontarci storie nuove di posti e di genti che magari abbiamo conosciuto o sfiorato... ( senza tralasciare i sapori).

Questa volta vorremmo invitarvi ad essere più attivi nella organizzazione dei nostri "viaggi" condividendo durante le serate le vostre esperienze, letture, poesie , ricette, citazioni , foto o qualsiasi storia che vi leghi ad uno dei posti che visiteremo e che volete raccontare:fateci avere fin da subito le vostre idee.

Come prima tappa del viaggio in Italia, abbiamo scelto Palermo che scopriremo tra le pagine di uno scrittore contemporaneo e nei colori di un ispirato artista ceramista del 900 in cui troviamo citazioni dell'opera  di Picasso, Mirò e Legèr.

Ci vediamo lunedì 18 gennaio alle ore 20.00 all'Officina Laboratorio Ceramica.

E' gradita la prenotazione.
Non mancate!
